Fergie always had a very good squad
also?
I don't know anyone that will claim him to be best manager ever.
But he's definitely a very very good manager and up there. The way he's won his PLs is evidence alone of that.
His only blemish is that he wasted time at BM in a crap league.

I know it was, its just funny that its the same old song.

Stagnant play and a moment of magic from Ronaldo and everything is okay again.

Yeah. Not much time to get the eyes set by the time that comes over the defenders heads.

Has to close to Rashford time with things opening up a bit.

Man a great ball by Ronaldo to free Cavani there too. His technical skills and footwork are still unmatched.

I guess the lesson here is that things can always be worse ... at least we're not Spurs lol. Nuno football is terrorism.

Nuno is awful. Maybe worse than AVB.

I have to agree with d_phaneuf....I'll bet Levy is wishing he'd taken whatever was being offered for Kane at this point.

Spurs were playing with 10 men.

Yeah you pretty much gotta dump Kane in January just to get him gone, he's obviously checked out. I imagine there will be a big Ewing Theory bump once he leaves.

The boos were palatable and necessary this game. Horrible management

So that game actually was a bit of what I mean about Man U’s success under Ole.

I don’t think either side was great tactically, and don’t really think it was like Man U went out and really dominated the run of play either.

XG were 1.28 Tottenham vs 1.35 Man U.

But two combined moments of brilliance between Ronaldo and Fernandes and it was 2-0.

I don’t think OGS is a bad manager, and I think he’s did a great job washing off the Mourinho stench (hell maybe Tottenham should hire him), but I just think they would probably benefit from getting a true world class manager in there.

to me, it was very much a result that was down to Spurs being terrible, not to United being good. It was an okay performance against an abysmal opponent and it'll calm the waves for a bit, but in terms of Solskjaer, it doesn't move the needle one bit for me.

Not a single shot on target. At home. Against an opponent that just got demolished last week.

Spurs should have smelled blood in the water and pounced, instead they got annihilated.

It was more than ok for me. It was a very solid comfortable performance against a terrible opponent. As Keane said, the perfect opponent after last week.


Doesn't change much for me either but he got that one right with the 3-4-1-2.

The thing that still confuses me is why did they spent two seasons chasing Sancho and where he fits into the team at the moment?

no idea. Maybe Donny needed somebody to talk to on the bench. Why mismanage one expensive transfer when you can mismanage two?
